Video Game Developers and Fans Are Sharing Their Most Controversial Gaming Opinions

Swimming levels are fucking awful, they add variety like your friend bringing Cuervo and claiming "it's misunderstood" https://t.co/DmxE0wuDhn

It's weird that y'all think game workers have nothing but pure love for the games they work on by default https://t.co/N2iuwbSnGJ

You can dislike a game that other people like without hate.❤️ https://t.co/RlQC2MdkxG

We're an insecure creative field. We have to stop apologizing for being video games and thanking everyone for acknowledging video games and sheepishly saying it's just video games. https://t.co/gzaHu8GkYg

8-bit through to PS1 era 3D can be artistically beautiful and stylish when viewed exactly as it is, not "OK for the time" or "You can see what they were trying to do if you squint" https://t.co/WfzBfh3uJH

narrative can't move forward until we start taking influences from things that aren't movies. i recommend history and poetry, but i'm begging our industry to take cues from literally anything else https://t.co/jOJ7xN7Qd8

HD & 4K made art assets so expensive that the bottom fell out of AA & AAA. Annually, we now get a relatively small selection of mid-to-big budget games & their creators are de-incentivized by economics to experiment or innovate too much. The beauty isn't worth the variety we lost https://t.co/k7YTOW2Sgk

The industry is by far too secretive which has led to a culture where people don't actually know how video games are made or why decisions get made the way they do, which creates an enormous disconnect where players think they understand things that are completely wrong. https://t.co/Ifl7lDMhYV

Steam sales are probably one of the worst things to happen to the games industry. They've left some consumers thinking that $5 is too much for an indie game and as a result some devs seriously under-charging for their products https://t.co/5kk6n4QvuW

Multiplayer games need people to teach good sportsmanship skills, anger management and enforce the damn TOS swiftly and consistently. https://t.co/W7L56CwAyZ

- interesting is better than "good" or "fun"

- much of what people perceive to be "dated" is just an example of norms and expectations of the time & much of what people think is timeless now will date poorly by that metric

- Nintendo is an evil companyhttps://t.co/mmprKVIVIw

As an industry, we overall don't know how to properly onboard new players in multiplayer games and that's a shame. https://t.co/N25hUKk0mj
